"Kristi Noem has been an abject failure leading the Department of Homeland Security for the last year - and the abuses of power we're seeing from ICE are the latest proof that she has lost control over her own department and staff," Rosen said in a statement to The Associated Press."
"Rosen said Noem's conduct is "deeply shameful" and she "must be impeached and removed from office immediately.""
"Impeachment proceedings are unlikely in the GOP-controlled Congress, but mounting Democratic outrage over the violence in the streets of Minneapolis is certain to disrupt Senate Republican leaders' hopes this week to quickly approve a wide-ranging spending bill and avoid a partial government shutdown on Jan. 30."
Sen. Jacky Rosen called for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, alleging Noem attempted to mislead the American public about a Minneapolis fatal shooting. Rosen characterized Noem as an abject failure leading DHS and cited alleged ICE abuses of power and loss of departmental control as justification for removal. Rosen described Noem's conduct as deeply shameful and insisted Noem must be impeached and removed immediately. More than 100 House Democrats back a resolution to launch impeachment proceedings, while few Senate Democrats have weighed in. The controversy threatens to complicate approval of a spending bill and avoid a partial government shutdown.
